LAGUNA BEACH -- A Carlsbad man was killed in a head-on crash
late Saturday night when a driver trying to pass another vehicle
drove into the victim's Jeep Wrangler on El Toro Road, Laguna Beach
police said.

They said Matthew Kyle Schultz, 35, was pronounced dead at the
crash site.

Police identified the driver of the Dodge Durango that hit the
Jeep as Derek Komorous, 25, of Laguna Beach. He was still in
critical condition Sunday after surgery at Mission Hospital, said
the nursing supervisor.

Witnesses told police the Durango was driving at high speed on
El Toro Road shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday. The Durango was in the
opposite lane as Komorous tried to pass another vehicle south of
Laguna Canyon Road, police said.

They said Schultz saw the oncoming Durango but was unable to
avoid a collision.
